      Hall effect study of magnetoresistive perovskite LaNi0.5Co 0.5O3 thin films 

      Androulakis, J.; Giapintzakis, John (2004)
      We report on the Hall effect of LaNi0.5Co0.5O 3 magnetoresistive thin films grown on Si(100) substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The Hall resistivity exhibits sign reversals both in varying magnetic field and temperature, ...
